Hi All, I wanted to first off thank everyone here for their help in the forums for this game we love so much.
My Question is if anyone else has experienced or noticed this and if there is a fix?
While playing I have noticed that the Fireworks (from the Mayor's House New Years) are no longer displayed even with the building plopped(placed in the city). I don’t know if the July Fireworks from the Resort Hotel are working as of yet, I will update once I know for sure. As I am sure many of you know, this effect does work and appear on the vanilla non-patched CD installation.
However, the fireworks do not appear when I play now on the Steam version of SimCity4 - File Version 1.1.641.0 with both the 4GB Patch and SC4Fix.dll applied. I am not sure if this worked before the patch and fix were applied on the steam version, especially as I had to tweak the steam launcher options a few times in order to get the game to startup. On that note, I doubt that the steam launch options matter in this case, but I have included them anyway... you never know:). Custom Launch options: -intro:off -CustomResolution:enabled -r1920x1080x32 -CPUCount:1 -CPUPriority:high -Cursors:fullcolor -d:OpenGL
Is there a fix for this, or is it possible to enable the fireworks again? I read somewhere online that it is possible to disable the fireworks using a dll file, but I can 100% assure you that I did not disable them as I am not using this no fireworks dll nor have I ever downloaded it for that matter since I love the fireworks hehe. I understand its more of a cosmetic thing and doesn't impact my gameplay, however it is still awesome to see these effects. And my apologies in advance if I have placed this topic in the wrong area. Thanks for taking the time to read this and any response/help is greatly Appreciated. Thank you
